The man doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page! The only “bio” page I could find about him (aside from an IMDB page for his “documentaries”) is on the NICUFO (National Investigations Committee on UFOs) page, and it is a piece of hagiography that would make the Evangelists blush.

I say “apparently” because there is very little information on him from uninterested sources. Frank Stranges, who apparently worked at the Pentagon in the 1950s and was involved in Project Blue Book. I think it’s safe to say that there aren’t any alien satellites in orbit, and if there were any placed there 13,000 years ago, they’re long gone. VICE did a useful short article on it here. The problem with that particular number is that it comes from a work of science fiction written in the 1970s that had nothing to do with the Black Knight. A bit of Googling tells us that this satellite has supposedly observed earth from a polar orbit for the last 13,000 years. This was then connected to reports of radio transmissions from space that go back to Nikolai Tesla at the end of the Nineteenth Century. Keyhoe happened to have just published a book right before these reports, for whatever that’s worth. Discussion of it goes back to 1954 (three years before Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, was launched into orbit), when it was “discovered” by Donald Keyhoe, a UFO researcher and written about in various newspapers in the United States. The show presents photographs and video from NASA missions in the 1990s, with the voice-over saying that NASA states the object shown is space debris. Going back to the show, the next piece of evidence presented for this group of overseers is the “Black Knight” satellite. Puharich with Project Penguin has similar results: one must get to the bottom of the page to find an association between the two, and that association is on a site that appears to be run by a right-wing group who believes that President Obama is hiding a stargate, and that’s probably the least troublesome thing they think about him. Even the Wikipedia page for Edgewood Arsenal does not mention Project Penguin.

In order to get any association between Project Penguin and Edgewood Arsenal, one must Google them together, and even then, a transcript of this episode of Ancient Aliens is in the top ten results. That’s why the show is so dangerous, it takes reality and twists it. It is not unusual for me to say things on Ancient Aliens are out and out fiction, but it is unusual for there to not be some remote connection to something that actually happened. Secondly, the name given for the experiments, Project Penguin, is to be found NOWHERE in any reputable documentation on the Edgewood Arsenal experiments in fact, it’s barely found in the non-reputable discussion of them. There is no indication that there was any experimentation with psychic ability, nor would there have been any reason for the government to have done so when they’d just done a thing like invent LSD. ( The New Yorker published an overview a few years ago, available here). There are a number of issues with what is presented here: firstly, while the experiments done at Edgewood Arsenal are documented history, they were related to the use of drugs and chemicals for warfare. Andreja Puharich, supposedly made contact with an entity referring to itself as Atom, who was one of “The Nine.” The Nine are said to be representatives of an intergalactic group known as The Federation (keep that in the back of your head, we’ll be returning to it). During one of these attempts, one of the Project Penguin researchers, Dr. One of the activities discussed is channeling, in which people attempt to make telepathic contact with others. It claims this was an attempt to use psychics for military and spying purposes. The show begins by discussing a 1952 US military/CIA venture: Project Penguin, located at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. Except for the specificity of number, this is not new territory for the AATs, so I won’t go over it again, except to say that all of the pantheons mentioned have more than nine gods. The Egyptian, Buddhist, Norse, Etruscan, and Greek mythologies are cited specifically, with the implication that any other polytheistic group in history must also have this association. This episode centers around the idea that there is a group of nine extraterrestrial overseers who are “an eternal presence…watching humanity from the beginning.” These nine supposedly appear throughout human history and mythology as gods or other authority figures.
